The Behavior of Gases

Front

What is the amount of force applied per unit of area?

Back

Pressure

Front

What happens to the kinetic energy of gas particles as the temperature increases?

Back

The kinetic energy increases, causing particles to move farther apart and volume to increase.

Front

Which law states that pressure of a gas increases if the volume decreases, and vice versa, when temperature is constant?

Back

Boyle's Law

Front

What happens to the volume of a gas when pressure increases?

Back

The volume decreases.

Front

What two types of energy combine to form thermal energy?

Back

Potential energy and kinetic energy.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and the movement of gas particles?

Back

As temperature increases, gas particles move faster.

Front

What is the definition of volume in the context of gases?

Back

Volume is the amount of space that a gas occupies.

Front

What happens to gas pressure if the number of gas particles increases while volume remains constant?

Back

The pressure increases.

Front

What is Charles's Law?

Back

Charles's Law states that the volume of a gas increases with an increase in temperature, when pressure is constant.

Front

What is the effect of decreasing the temperature of a gas on its volume?

Back

The volume decreases.
